Chris Hipkins speaks to media, after being confirmed as the only nomination to replace Jacinda Ardern as leader of the Labour Party, outside New Zealands parliament in Wellington, New Zealand January 21, 2023.

Tens of thousands of people in New Zealand’s Christchurch have been joined by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to mark a week since the massacre of worshipers at two mosques in Christchurch.

New Zealand’s prime minister on Monday announced to introduce reforms in gun laws in the country, following the Friday’s terrorist attacks on two mosques that left at least 50 people killed in Christchurch.

A right-wing extremist who filmed himself on the horrific rampage that left 49 mosque-goers dead flashed a white power sign as he appeared in a New Zealand court Saturday charged with murder.

The government of New Zealand on Monday announced that it will keep its military trainers in Iraq and Afghanistan until next year, but will be reviewing its long-term involvement in the region.
